depends on the guild. some are 3 days a week, some like 5.

[MPower]

Yah the raids reset on tuesdays. The guilds I associate with do Wed/Sat for 10man and Fri/Sun for 25man runs, with OS and VoA thrown in whenever.

[Scorps]

I raid Tues, Wed, and Fri that's the 25-mans the 10-mans are get a group and do it when ever

my guild is casual but the hardcore guilds on my server run 6-7 days a week.

[Reese]

So, um, any horde guilds recruiting? I gquit my guild last night.. Probably dumb considering Sarth 3 drake 10man was scheduled this week which is the only difficult achievement I had left for the Glory of the raider. Sigh..

[Scorps]

So after 12 eggs I finally got my Drake mount


And the horde some how still mounted in Dalaran

Oh, that's awseome! I'm still doing the Wyrmrest grind to get mine and also the Alliance Vanguard grind to get my Choppa!

Has anyone got a Time-Lost Proto Drake yet?

[Frosstbyte]

I'm currently trying to get myself the spirit beast. The drake will be my next goal after I finally get this one. Hopefully. I think my brain is dribbling out of my ears at this point.

I'm recruiting boss DPS

We expect to get Sarth 3D (25-man) down this week. That's not bad, you know... this being our 4th week of raiding. Last week, we managed to down Shadron on several attempts, but the adds respawned before we could make progress past that.

[MPower]

Finally built this baby last week.

[Cynthetiq]

gratz! i'm looking forward to some of the more exotic mounts

[Frosstbyte]

And Loque'nahak is mine! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is without a doubt the most time I have dedicated to single-mindedly doing something in this game in the over four years that I've played. I cannot tell you what a relief it is to know that I will never have to make endless circles around Sholazar spamming a macro again. I named him Karma and I'll post a picture when I'm not feeling kind of overwhelmed.

Someone at work circulated a brief article about the number of quests in Wow. I'd never stopped and thought about it before, so I found the numbers fairly interesting:

• Target total quests for original WoW release: 600
• Original WoW total quests: 2600
• Burning Crusade: 5300
• Wrath of the Lich King: 7650

• Between 6/30/2007 and 3/5/2009, some 8,570,222,436 quests were completed in the World of Warcraft.
• Daily average of quests completed: 16,641,209

Amazing.

[westy]

that chopper looks awesome!!

I finally made it to that wow-heroes website. I'm 21 overall on server and #6 hunter. I think at that point it all comes down to luck and poor ranking system. Comparing myself to the #1 hunter on my server, He uses a 213ilvl trinket, I use the best in slot Greatness trinket which is only ilvl 200. He uses the best in slot helm which has never dropped for my guild and he uses a better cloak that I just haven't had to chance to get yet.

I also have a better spec than him but he may be pvp specced atm so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Sooooooo still looking for a guild?

[Reese]

Oh, Now you want me? Pfft. I went back to my old guild, People there are too cool for me to leave em

[Scorps]

Grats on the cat, we got 1 of the 3 hunters in the guild that has him...

So Spore + Arcane Potency = crit over load


and I still can't top the meters

[Reese]

God, I hope the patch isn't this week!

[Scorps]

I got a whole 5 of those achievements. There is a group of people in the guild that want that proto drake I could care less.

[Crack]

How you ask? By raping the shit out of WSG, coming back from 2-0 to win, and having 27 flag returns from the alliance side.


I like this shot too... almost 35000 honor in one day.
I could have got a lot more if I actually tried.

[Scorps]

Damn wish I liked pvp that much, going to need to practice for the upcoming kids week.

Rookies!!!

j/k.....
I'd put a screenshot up but I dont want to embarrass anyone..
Especially me...

[Reese]

I got Glory of the Raider last night. We zerged 10man Sarth with 8 DPS, 1 tank, 1 healer and downed him before the 2nd drake landed. It wasn't even close to the fastest kill but it was only the 2nd attempt of the night. I'm definitely enjoying the 310% mount speed.. Sadly I had to retire my Cenarian Hippogryph.


Jeez Crack, You're gonna burn yourself out doing that many BGs!

[BuDDaH]

Here a screenie, as you can see I am also a Achievement whore..

I slowed down on pvping since patch 3.0, but I still enjoy Wintergrasp when it moves me. I back up Cyn when I see him..

[Scorps]

How and where do you get the "of the alliance" title?

[Frosstbyte]

"of the Alliance/Horde" is for 100,000 (yes, that's one hundred thousand) honorable kills.

[Crack]

Jesus freaking Christ on a pogo-stick that is a lot of titles...

What are you at with achievements?
I have a shadow priest friend with 7050... insane
The World of Warcraft Armory

[ObieX]

I dunno why you wouldn't wear your Field Marshal title after working so hard to get it back in the day To this day i have yet to take off my Grand Marshal title. Very few titles in wow these days actually mean something. I wouldn't give up that field marshal one so quickly.

[Cynthetiq]

Patch day!!! I've never looked forward to a patch day before, but I am really interested in dual spec.

[Halx]

My guild got Twilight Vanquisher last night. We did it the old-fashioned way, too. No VW tank. No 80-second speed kill. We're quite proud of ourselves considering we've been raiding as a guild for less than 2 months.

[Reese]

Grats Halx. That is definitely an exciting fight.

I've not played in awhile. What's dual spec?

[Reese]

Dual spec is a system that allows you to switch between 2 different talent specs whenever you want.

[snowy]

Does anyone have an alternate link to the patch? The Blizzard Downloader claims I'm behind a firewall, but Blizzard's site is apparently down for maintenance. I'm looking for one now but my search hasn't been very promising so far.

oh... and what build what build????? I don't know!!!! I didn't write mine down and can't locate any copies of what I had before. WoW Armory is down too... so can't even look at the cached copy of me.

[YaWhateva]

I'm loving the dual specs. Shadow and Disc...so awesome

[ironpham]

You can switch like in the middle of a fight? That's pretty badass.

[snowy]

Man, patching took forever, and then the world server kept crashing, but two good things happened last night: I managed to purchase a white kitten from Lil' Timmy, and I got to do the new fishing daily! I'm excited for some of the changes they've made to both cooking and fishing.

[Cynthetiq]

not in the middle of a fight, it rests your resources like mana/rage, so you have to do it before combat and entry into BGs or Arenas

Dual Talent Specialization - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
Switching between specializations

Currently in the PTR, there is no reagent, cooldown, or monetary cost to switch. Players will not be able to switch between specs during combat, in Battlegrounds (except during Preparation, before the battle begins), or in Arenas (no exception).[1]

Lexicons of Power will not be necessary for switching between saved talent specs and glyphs. Players will be able to switch between their chosen talents anywhere.[1]

Switching between talent specs will take 5 seconds, and all mana and resources will be reset to zero when doing so.[1]

To switch, pull up the talent pane, select the primary or secondary spec and activate the talents. Once the 5 second cast is completed, your glyphs, action bars, and talents will all be restored to your other specialization.

We didn't get home until late, so I didn't have enough time to do much. I setup my dual spec, even though I didn't know what the 2nd spec will be. I also had to of course figure out which mods were broken. I don't really use many mods, so it wasn't that difficult.

And of course, I had to test out the new spec Suvival with the Black Arrow.

Time will tell.

[Scorps]

100,000 Hk's I'm at maybe 2000 :P

I got 10 titles atm and that should do for now.
